What they don't tell you about interviewing after 40 — and how to walk in prepared.
You've done the work. You have the experience. And yet the modern interview process can make you feel like you're starting over.
You're not. You're navigating a process that was not designed with you in mind — but that doesn't mean you can't work it. This guide tells you how.
The real criteria behind modern interview scoring — including what ageism looks like when it's dressed up as "culture fit."
Scripts and frameworks for the hardest ones — the gap explanation, the salary question, the "where do you see yourself" trap.
Your 20 years of experience is an asset. Here's how to position it so they see it that way too.
What to ask at the end of an interview to assess whether the role and the organization are actually a fit for you.
What to watch for during the interview that tells you more than the job posting ever will.
A pre-interview prep checklist, a question bank, and a debrief template so every interview builds on the last one.
The guide gives you the framework. The cohort puts it to work.
Four weeks. Eight women maximum. Focused entirely on the interview process — from preparation through offer. Real feedback, real practice, real peers who are navigating the same thing.
The cohort runs every month. Register now and get full access to the Now What? community starting April 1 — regardless of when your cohort begins.
If you want something more intensive than the guide alone, this is it.
8 spots per cohort. Community access starts April 1.

I spent 15 years in HR. I have sat on the other side of the interview table hundreds of times. I know what interviewers are actually thinking, what they write on their scoring sheets, and what kills a candidacy in the first ten minutes.
And then I got laid off. And I had to interview again. And I can tell you from both sides of that desk — the process is not neutral. It is not designed to surface the best person. It is designed to surface the person who is best at the process. That is a very different thing.
This guide is what I know from the inside. The cohort is what I built because I couldn't find the support I needed when I was in it — and I don't think you should have to figure this out alone either.
Start with the free guide. Go further with the cohort. Either way, you don't have to figure this out alone.
